Abstract

Radio communication apparatus includes a baseband processor for modulating data to be transmitted into an IF signal and for demodulating an IF signal derived from a received high frequency signal. A front end section receives the IF signal from the baseband processor and converts that IF signal into a high frequency signal for transmission. The front end section also is adapted to receive a high frequency signal from a remote location, and converts the received high frequency signal into an IF signal that is supplied to the baseband processor for demodulation and data recovery. The front end section is operable in a plurality of frequency bands and is tunable to a frequency within a selected one of the frequency bands for use as a radio frequency channel. Consequently, the number of simultaneously assigned channels in the same area can be markedly increased and the possibility of interrupting a communication link is significantly reduced.

Description

Wireless Telecom Equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates in WLAN (local area network (LAN)), have the Wireless Telecom Equipment of special practicality, especially the Wireless Telecom Equipment that can in having the environment that disturbs and interfere, operate.
Background technology
Proposed Wireless LAN system is used for communicating by letter between the various piece of the equipment in a limited range, this limited range can be a building, a dwelling house, a house or a room.For this reason, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electric Engineers) 802.11 standard codes the 2.4GHz frequency band as can be used for a radio frequency band of such Wireless LAN system.
Summary of the invention
Fig. 1 has represented the Wireless LAN system of a 2.4GHz frequency band, and wherein the data that will transmit are converted into packet, transmit by MAC controller (MAC) 91, and the bag that the MAC assembling is used to send, and the bag that will receive decomposes.Baseband processor (BBP) 92 is modulated into packet intermediate frequency (IF) signal of the hundreds of MHz order of magnitude on the high-transmission digit rate, the packet that this processor modulation is used to send, and when data are received, the demodulation intermediate-freuqncy signal.Front end part 93 converts intermediate-freuqncy signal the high-frequency signal of selected radio frequency in the 2.4GHz frequency band to, and this high-frequency signal sends from antenna 99.
In the Data Receiving of Wireless Telecom Equipment, the high-frequency signal that sends from another Wireless Telecom Equipment is received by antenna 99, and is converted into intermediate-freuqncy signal by front end part 93.Baseband processor 92 demodulation intermediate-freuqncy signals recover the data of packetized form, and these packets that recovered are decomposed by MAC controller.
Baseband processor 92 can be CCK (complementary code keying) form, OFDM (OFDM) form, and perhaps QPSK (quadriphase PSK) form is as the modulation form.
In Wireless LAN system, the transmission range of data between the different piece of equipment approximately is sighting distance 100m.Therefore, if each institute's dwelling house or each room structure Wireless LAN system for the building that is arranged in a zone, and in this zone, population is that room intensive or wherein is located adjacent one another, because radio wave can pass the body of wall that does not comprise metal very easily, so several Wireless LAN system that interferes with each other can appear at a zone simultaneously.
The IEEE802.11 standard code 11 channels (from channel 1 to channel 11), be distributed in from 2.400 to 2.483GHz 2.4GHz frequency band, each channel is configured to 5MHz frequency at interval.In order to hold a plurality of channels simultaneously in identical scope, the frequency interval between the adjacent channel that can use in that scope should be equal to or greater than 25MHz, as described in summary among Fig. 2.Like this, because high-frequency signal has a fixed-bandwidth of having modulated, if the frequency of adjacent channel is closer to each other, such as being spaced apart 5MHz, the signal of a channel is as the interference wireless wave of one other channel signal.Therefore, be distributed in the 2.4GHz frequency band, the quantity maximum of simultaneously applied channel should be limited in 3 in identical scope, resembles among Fig. 2 shown in the channel 1,6 and 11.As a result, if Wireless LAN system is applied to each building or each dwelling house or room in a densely populated zone, then may there be enough available channel.

In the program shown in Figure 22, instruction S1 at first will partly be converted to the 2.4GHz frequency band at the front end in the wireless communication section of base terminal and portable terminal device.For example, at the embodiment shown in Fig. 7,80a is selected for the front end part.Program proceeds to inquiry S2 then and decides whether the acceptable received of radio communication is possible.The error rate rate of the signal strength signal intensity of the signal that for example, receives or this signal is measured.If answer is yes for inquiry S2, program advances to instruction S3, and this instruction changes the basis and makes the baseband processor of taking in the terminal so that at the CCK format operation.Then, program advances to inquiry S4, judges whether acceptable demodulation has occurred.For example, data are transmitted on the frequency channels in the 2.4GHz frequency band now, and by demodulation, and the error rate of demodulating data is detected with the modulation of CCK form.If the error rate can be accepted, inquiry S4 answers of answering affirmatively, program advances to instruction S5, here, communicates by letter and carries out at 2.4GHz band applications CCK form.
Yet if inquiry S2 obtains negative acknowledge, program is advanced so that change frequency band to the 5GHz frequency band, and the S7 that executes instruction then makes modulation format into OFDM.Then, carry out inquiry S8 decide with the modulation of OFDM form data could be by successful demodulation.If answer is yes in inquiry, program advances to instruction S5, and communication remains on the 5GHz frequency band according to the OFDM form.But if the answer is in the negative for inquiry S8, program advances to instruction S9, and this instruction changes to CCK with modulation format from OFDM.Communication keeps according to the CCK form at the 5GHz frequency band now.
If inquiry S4 has been done negative acknowledge, in other words, if do not obtain acceptable demodulation (but the signal strength signal intensity of the frequency channels in the 2.4GHz frequency band is acceptable) at the 2.4GHz frequency band according to the communication of CCK form, execution command S6 comes to change modulation format from CCK to OFDM.Therefore, communication keeps according to the OFDM form at the 2.4GHz frequency band.
